Ahh. very cool

I was a member of my high school's GSA for three years and an officer for one. I and the other officers never accomplished much, but it certainly looked good on our college applications.

I plan to get involved in my college's equivalent club when I get there.

Last Fall I took a pyschology of sexual orientation class and a few people that were in that class started a GSA.I started going and I continued going throughout the fall semester and the spring semester.GSA starts up again this Tuesday and I am excited to see my friends.

Emberstone · 28th Aug 2009, 08:06 PM

if they start up fall term as planned, I will go to the ones at my college. couldnt during the summer as they are closed during summer term.

Techcompu2 · 28th Aug 2009, 08:10 PM

if there was one at my school I might go. not sure though

Just Adam · 29th Aug 2009, 12:43 AM

im not a member of any groups as such but i am working on pride events...

certified Hotti · 29th Aug 2009, 12:48 AM

I tried to start a GSA at my school my junior year, but it never happened. A lot of the gay, lesbian, and bisexual teens at my school, i guess, were not ready to come out just yet. My high school was very small so everyone wud eventually find out.

29th Aug 2009, 12:54 AM

Yes! My school's GSA is full of weird and cooky people which makes it fun. And we get some pretty interesting people when we have events...

29th Aug 2009, 02:06 AM

Tried starting a GSA at my school but didn't work out because everyone else backed out and I didn't want to be shouldering all the work myself.

GhostDog · 29th Aug 2009, 06:05 AM

As of next Wednesday, I'm gonna start going to my university's. =) There's an ice cream social next week, I totally intend to go. I'm nervous but excited at the same time! Eee!

Metalbiguy · 29th Aug 2009, 09:36 AM

Ugh i wish i had one, we tried having one, but the 'founding members' all ended up hating each other over a fight, i was one of them, so we couldn't bring it together to actually make it happen, sucks though, cause i wish i had some gay friends that i could talk to in real life, but luck of the draw i guess.

silentsound · 29th Aug 2009, 09:57 AM

I feel pathetic saying this, but I'm too scared to join the one at my high school, even as an ally. However I am really excited to join one in college.

JurrBurr · 29th Aug 2009, 10:04 AM

Yes I do. I recently went to a new school and they have a group called PROUD.

30th Aug 2009, 07:54 PM

I ve never been to a GSA but I m always up for something new.

Alex19 · 30th Aug 2009, 07:57 PM

i will b when college starts

heh my school's GSA (S.A.G.E) is pretty similar. I'm not in it, but from what I've seen it's mostly the "strange" kids at school. One kid comes to school wearing pants with 1 leg cut off at the knee and the other full length... not really my crowd (although of the ones I've talked to they're all really cool people

).

On the flip-side though I do plan I joining the GSA at the college I go to (and maybe even the GLBT specific dorms depending on the situation).

KatoKumi · 30th Aug 2009, 09:05 PM

Never.

My school's club is loaded with awful people. I went twice, but I just couldn't stomach it.
